Listen: New Black Sabbath Song, “God Is Dead?”

Black Sabbath will release their highly anticipated new album, 13, on June 11. Now a song from the record, “God Is Dead?,” has hit the Interwebs. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments. The single will be available digitally tomorrow.

To all the little prick faggots who dislike this track, fuck you! You idiots obviously have never heard old black sabbath material aside from paranoid and iron man. both are good tracks, but those tracks are the ones that sound a little different. true fans will tell you, that’s original sabbath music!

I absolutely LOVE it! I think it sounds great. You’ve got classic Sabbath sound BUT with a much more polished playing style. Love the pick up. Ozzy sounds great. Brilliant! Haters keep on hating there are plenty of us that LOVE IT!!!!

Sounds like Black Sabbath Vol. 4 1972 all over again. Awesome!!!!! But I do miss Bill Ward. Oh well. It’s at least great to have Osbourne, Iommi and Butler together again at this point in their lives. As for people who don’t like this? You can go back to your Justin Bieber crap now.

Loving this song, looking forward to the rest of the album. Definitely reminds me of Vol. 4. And all you haters, you have no appreciation of Sabbath at all.

Sorely, sorely missing Bill Ward’s drumming on this track. In Sabbath’s large catalog of great tracks I would give this a C+. Has some of the elements of what made them great, but lacks the intensity of their earlier work. Ozzy needs to take some Meth.

Yeah those I <3 radio fucks can go eat dicks, fuck those assholes for fucking up the first fucking new Sabbath tune in nearly 2 decades, what fucktards

Clearly the be all end all, wellspring which all things that ROCK flow! This is metal 101. God bless Black Sabbath. Geezers riffing really makes the song, THATS how a bass is played!

Rick Wilson

Although slowly building to a mild crescendo in the style of “Heaven
& Hell”, sadly, Ozzy’s vocal just does nothing to carry the strength
of the riffage and bass-soloing going on between Tony and Geezer
respectively. I do love Ozzy, but Ronnie James Dio would have hit this
one out of the park. I’ll listen a few more times, but I think the
drums are not recorded properly or Rick Rubin is trying for some
tinny-sounding Pop, because I am certain that Bill Ward would have done
quite a few more fills; his magic seems to be missing; I have the
feeling the drums weren’t quite finished. Lyrically poigniant like most
Sabbath songs and fodder for misunderstanding among the superficial –
trademark Geezer lyrics. I would give this a 7 on a scale of 10, and 10
out of 10 with Ronnie & Bill.

Every album Sabbath did was different. They always had light and dark on every album. This new album is the same thing. It is different from their other works. Some will love it and some will not. But I for one, have been waiting a very long time for this event! It’s a NEW Sabbath album people. This is an incredible event. These guys have more talent than most anyone of us out there. I have been a fan since ’69. I have seen the entire rock music industry since it began. Bands like this are the real deal. How many bands or artists are still selling out shows after more than 40 years. Success speaks for itself. Long live Black Sabbath! Gods of rock and roll.

Can’t wait for this to hit the stores. Rockin’.

Classic awesomeness, always loved sabbath before and after Ozzy! They have more than what it takes, still Ronnie James Dio is missed….

why did Bill Ward opt out again? Was it the money Ozzy was offering? Because I also think that Bill would have done a better job. Also the no solo is missing. I grew up with them in high school, and I’m still going to see them at the sports arena in LA. Ozzy doesn’t sound that bad. It’s true Black Sabbath sound. Dio couldn’t do the true Sabbath, Although he was great.

Just awesome, better than the late ozzy-era and for eons superior to the material on the Reunion studio tracks.

Meh. The production is lacking and the drums are boring. I love Sabbath and have for most of my life but this just doesn’t do it for me. But it may just be Rick Rubin’s production throwing me off so I’ll give it a few more listens.

Well, obviously they have adjusted the riffing to Ozzys more lowered vocal style, which is understandable because of his living. But the riffing and song building is great. Missing Bill Ward though (too bad the business takes over so that it canÂ´t even make old friends keep together and share the “cake” between themselvelves fairly). Anybody thinks that Sharon has more than a finger in this cake?
